With the start of the new year, thoughts usually turn to resolutions and new beginnings.

Sadly, this was not to be for Animal Allies and Christopher’s family and we dedicate this newsletter to a true angel for animals – Christopher.

On the 27th January 2015 we lost the most gentle, kind and compassionate man we know. Chris, you were the heart and soul of Animal Allies. You were a true gentleman. Your passion and love for animals never ceased to amaze us. You were always there to help, going the extra mile for any person or animal in need. You honestly changed lives. Thank you for everything you did for us and the animals. We are devastated and battling to come to terms with this terrible news. You were taken away from us far too soon! We know you are in heaven smiling down on us and looking after all our furry friends up there. The world is definitely a sadder place without you in it. RIP my friend, you will be sorely missed and will live in our hearts forever. Our thoughts and prayers are with Cathy, Nthabiseng, Gabriel and the rest of Chris’ family during this very difficult and trying time.

We hope your year has gotten off to a better start and that February will be a better month for us and the animals.
